You think Google doesn’t do this?

They do this to Chinese citizens because China demands it and they are strong.

Of course they do but Android itself is open source. You can remove the OS off android phones and install custom android roms with all the google stuff removed.

I don’t think anyone wholeheartedly trusts Apple. I think we just trust Apple more than MS, Google, Samsung, etc

The person whose thread you're mocking didn't imply Apple had a perfect track record either

It's obvious at this point people will have to pick the lesser of two evil phone platforms each with its pros and cons unless they want to put a bunch of time into getting a half-finished unpolished open source experience to work

That still doesn't help the Chinese people. Pretty much any legit service they use will go back to the CCP. It's the price of doing business in China.

If any of these companies had balls, they would just dump the Chinese market, but money trumps all especially when they build everything in China.

If you want to talk non legit, you can vpn yourself somewhere else on both these platforms and even dev account on apple and install all sorts of shite.

Apple likes to act high & mighty and power play smaller tech and states in US over politics and freedom of religion bills while looking the other way on China & other middle eastern countries committing true atrocities to its people including China’s treatment of certain Muslims and ME countries treatment of homosexuals and women due to state sponsored religion.

They also finally let Parler back on App Store after forcing them to make app auto censor certain posts instead of just improving content moderation. Even Google didn’t require that to get back on their App Store, and don’t think Apple requires that of Twitter or Facebook.

There is not a company that exists that wants to do business in China that doesn't bend the knee to CCP. Google SJWs the shite out of stuff in the USA and does the same bending of the knee in China. Have you seen their whole new thing about recommending chairperson or mailperson instead of chairman and mailman in the Google Docs? All these tech companies are hyper liberal. This is a dumb argument, you want to play in China, you are gonna follow the CCP's rules.

Look at freakin Disney and all the shite they do with China to appease their Chinese overloads and still do all the liberal crap they do here. Conservative businesses are just as bad as well. You have to suck that CCP cock to play the game there.

We all fully understand what Google and other companies do to make money. This is an LOL @ the Apple folks who may just now be realizing their precious Apple is no different. So spare us the deflecting to Google, et al.

Google did not bend the knee to China. Their services were banned back in 2010 in China. They would not censor their searches. There are a billion Android phones in China with no YouTube, Gmail, Google maps, etc.

Apple released the locations of Hong Kong protesters to the CCP, but would not unlock the phone of the Boston Marathon bomber for its own country.

frick Apple.

So what if Google tells the government when pedophiles upload photos of nude kids to Google photos.

All companies sell data. Your credit card company sells data on what you purchase, Your internet service provider and cellphone company sells data. Every American company that has a rewards program is collecting and selling data.

There is still a Google China division and they have tried to re enter the market in China a few times with search and other services outside their hardware. Here's the most recent incarnation that had some crazy shite in it.

Don't remember that one, one I remember was they removed an app that the HK protestors were using to track police.

Moral superiority doesn't exist with any of these companies. They all pretty much suck arse.
